Green Beans

I love green beans, not from the can but fresh. I had this when I spent Thanksgiving at the Parker's. Linda made it and I really liked it so I decided to make it. Well, I forgot to ask her for the recipe but I googled it and there were a gazillion recipes for this. It's easy to make. I actually made this last December and I just forgot to blog about it. It's great as a side dish.

So here it is.

Note: You are more than welcome to double the ingredients.

1/2 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, sliced
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
